The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced
yesterday
that it had raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide"
after
the recent attacks in Great Britain.

The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and
"Collaborate".

The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's
white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

You should consider the history of the "French resistance" during
WW2 and think, perhaps, that maybe French people are not so much
cowards, after all. No nation is perfect (take the USA for example),
but you are being unkind.

Don't get me wrong. The French appear somewhat arrogant and
self-righteous to me. Demanding special treatment in Europe etc.
Hardly qualifies as cowardice, though. Then, there is the recent
hardline approach to Muslim fudamentalists; far stricter than any
policy of the UK government. They have balls somewhere.
